We ask SEGRO to demonstrate that it can be a responsible neighbour by taking immediate action to reduce the impact of this development on our communities. Residents of Park Street, Frogmore and neighbouring communities are experiencing unacceptable levels of dust and noise arising from the massive earthworks being undertaken as part of SEGRO’s freight warehouse development. During prolonged periods of dry weather, more than 100 items of heavy construction machinery are operating across this enormous site. The resulting orange-yellow dust regularly drifts across nearby homes, covering cars, windows, patios, garden furniture and plants. Residents are spending considerable time and money cleaning their properties, and with windows and doors open during hot weather, dust is entering people’s homes. We recognise that development has been approved and construction will continue. However, we believe that nearby residents should not have to suffer avoidable environmental impact.

Sign to support us in our call for:  • Secondary sewage treatment and UV disinfection on all inhabited islands;  • Effective regulation and accurate monitoring;  • Preservation of our highly protected marine environment;  • Well-maintained water infrastructure and equipment. In 2026 there are no excuses for sewage pollution. The Isles of Scilly rest 28 miles off the coast of Cornwall in a gorgeous tapestry of blue-green water. This spectacular marine environment is teeming with life and is home to Grey Seals, Crawfish and Pink Sea Fans, all of which are protected in an archipelago-wide Special Area of Conservation along with reefs and intertidal sandbanks. Other residents and regular or rare visitors are ‘priority species’ and include:  • Sea Fan Anemones • Sunset Cup Corals • Porbeagle Sharks • Blue Sharks • Basking Sharks  • Humpback Whales • Fin Whales • Minke Whales • Cuvier’s Beaked Whales • Orca • Risso’s Dolphins  • Common Dolphins  • Bottlenose Dolphins  • Harbour Porpoise And too many more to mention! These species and their habitats - along with magnificent seabirds, wildlife, and flora and fauna on land - are why Scilly is one of the most protected environments in the UK.  Despite this, South West Water are proposing to construct a fine-screening plant and long sea outfall to ‘improve’ St Mary’s’ already failing sewage system. If successful, this 470m pipe would routinely discharge screened but untreated sewage into highly protected, designated habitats within a fragile ecosystem. St Mary’s has a population equivalent of over 2,000, making it unlawful to routinely discharge untreated sewage here. SWW have stated the necessity for secondary treatment to protect our Special Area of Conservation in their own publications, and the Environment Agency acknowledge it too. Despite this, South West Water are progressing their plans at pace, and the Environment Agency said they will consider a ‘robust’ argument for screening only. In 2026 there are no excuses for sewage pollution. We know better, and have the technology to be innovative and sustainable whilst we do better. Other UK islands like South Uist and Tobermory have secondary treatment for similar population equivalents, and it would never be acceptable on the UK mainland. People are aware of the sewage crisis and are no longer prepared to let sewage pollution harm our environment and our families. The Isles of Scilly is one of the UK's most protected marine environments. A place with this level of environmental importance should become a showcase for the highest standards of wastewater treatment—not an exception where lower standards are accepted. Sign, share, and shout it out loud!

The turning into Lincoln Avenue has become dangerously obstructed by routinely parked, large and commercial vehicles. Their presence creates a serious blind spot on entering the cul de sac by car, risking accidents and injury.  The problem is particularly acute turning left from Hampden way onto Lincoln Avenue. For pedestrians the vehicles hide the pavement from view, making it unsafe.  Frequently remnants of alcohol and substance use litter the pavement, which is also a haven for fly tipping.  This has been a concerning issue for at least the last 10 years. Though it’s been exacerbated by the same returning vehicles that park for long periods. The simple addition of double yellow lines will end this opportunism and create a safer neighbourhood for everyone.  Let’s get it done now before someone gets hurt.

In this world full of human tragedy, programmes like Winterwatch on the BBC are a breath of fresh air. They're cosy, uplifting, and a great way for all - especially children - to learn about nature.  The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the whole world. This is a vital time to showcase and educate people about nature - not to axe programmes that do!  The BBC has always played a huge role in nature education - from David Attenborough's programmes, to Winterwatch. When our natural world needs lifting up, and our native wildlife animals need saving, we want to be able to count on our BBC to be part of the solution, not the problem. 

Walking down the road when the bins are out for collection is near on impossible at times. The public and local residents are heavily affected by this lack of space. This matters to me because councils do not currently spend enough money on these kinds of services, leaving our pavements blocked and difficult to navigate. 

It's unnecessary and dangerous for insects, other wildlife, dogs and humans.  We need to stop thinking that 'neat' is necessary, nature is not 'neat'. Having longer grass near trees is not unsightly and very rarely is it dangerous to highway users. If you must remove the grass around trees for safety reasons hand cutters do the job just fine.  Glyphosate  is a highly toxic chemical that damages plants, is one of the main causes of the diminishing bee population and has been known to make wildlife and dogs very sick or even kill them.  It also damages the Mycorrhizal fungi that trees and plants use to communicate with each other as well as  the quality of the soil. This is turn damages the tree over years.  The World Health Organization classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans” in 2015. A group of experts concluded in March that “glyphosate and GBHs [glyphosate-based herbicides] cause genetic damage, oxidative stress and hormonal disruption”. “Regulatory agencies in countries around the world should treat glyphosate and GBHs as hazardous, as some countries have started to do,” the experts said. “Agencies should act without further delay to limit their use, or eliminate them if legally required, to protect public health.” Please stop spraying glyphosate or any weedkiller where there are alternatives available which are safer to wildlife and people. And please stop the unnecessary killing of wide areas of grass by using quad-bike sprayers instead of spray-guns which target the growth you need to kill off.

Offshore oil and gas pollutes UK seas and harms ocean wildlife. It also makes the UK dependent on unpredictable and volatile fossil fuel markets, and subject to price shocks created by global conflict. We are on the cusp of enshrining in law the end to oil and gas in UK seas. Now is our once-in-generation chance to make it happen. The government should hold true to its commitment to end new oil and gas exploration. The future of clean seas, marine wildlife, renewable energy security, North Sea prosperity and thriving coastal communities depends on it. Where oil goes, spills follow.  In 2025 there were more than 630 oil and chemical spills in UK seas, including oil spills directly in marine protected areas. Toxic pollution is harming our wildlife and could also end up in the fish that we eat. Whales and dolphins that rely on sound for hunting and communication are deafened by sonic booms used to search for oil deep beneath the sea floor. Fragile deep sea corals and rare marine life is torn apart for pipelines and smothered by sediments released by drilling. New oil won’t cut bills. The reality is that there is very little oil or gas left in the North Sea. What remains is difficult, dangerous, and expensive to extract and would be sold on the volatile international market, by private companies to maximise profits. New oil would only shackle the UK to more price shocks and uncertainty. Instead, government must hold the line on clean, green, and ever cheaper, renewable energy.  The government has promised it will ban new oil and gas with legislation but the fossil fuel lobby is desperate to maintain the status quo. We must act now. Tell the government: bring in the ban and stop new oil licences once and for all. You can lead the UK and the world to a cleaner future for our ocean and abundant, secure, renewable energy. For our ocean.  

All across the UK people have been increasingly leaving non biodegradable memorial objects and ritual offerings at sacred sites, circles, wells and henges. This has now reached epidemic proportions and is unsustainable. The natural environment can no longer bear the weight and impact of this behaviour and it is too big and important an issue for any one person in any one place to tackle alone. This problem calls for joined up thinking from those bodies within and without the Pagan Community to create clear public guidelines for these practices, for structure that promotes better ways of interacting mindfully within our sacred sites. This will be to the benefit of all, but most importantly will safeguard our sacred landscape for future generations to come. 

Wandsworth Council should also: • Identify all council owned land suitable for community cultivation.  • Make this land available for cultivation by a simple licence to community organisations at no cost. • Consider community food growing on sites awaiting development for other uses on a fixed term basis.  • Adopt the Right to Grow motion and support the Incredible Edible campaign for a national right to grow.  We know we can transform the lives of people in Wandsworth for the better by actively growing food together in our neighbourhoods, as part of building our resilience in a changing world. The biggest obstacle to more local food growing is the lack of available land close to people’s homes.  All around Wandsworth, small parcels of public land are being left unloved, costing taxpayers money to maintain while giving nothing back to the community in return. Community food-growing projects such as Fishponds, Transition Town Tooting Community Gardens, Paradise Cooperative and Bramford Community Gardens, as well as projects that have created havens for wildlife in built-up areas, have shown that with a little TLC these parcels of land can be turned into something far more valuable. In the middle of the cost-of-living crisis, unlocking access to local healthy food could be a lifeline for many communities, offering practical hope for everyone. We think it should be easy for communities to identify this unused public land, and apply for free, straight-forward leases to take on the care of the land. That’s why we are calling on you to give the citizens of Wandsworth a Right to Grow.  Transforming space in urban locations for food growing creates neighbourhoods which are cooler in summer, less polluted, better for our mental and physical health, better for wildlife and encourages local food spend. And, because many of these actions are about giving power to people to shape their community, they turn out to be more sociable and more connected places.

Do you care about biodiversity, climate change, and Scotland’s natural beauty? Then please sign today to preserve a precious maerl bed on the Isle of Skye! In this frightening time where biodiversity is plummeting and global warming is rocketing, you can save an organism that protects us from both: maerl – a living calcified algae with coralline branches in exquisite pink and purple hues. Maerl is a crucial keystone of marine biodiversity. The spaces between its branches provide homes for a myriad of juvenile crustaceans and molluscs, such as scallops and anemones. In allowing these marine creatures to mature, maerl supports the fish, otters, seabirds, and seals that feed upon them. Maerl is invaluable in the fight against global warming, as it absorbs carbon dioxide and stores that carbon in its hard exterior. Because of these vital characteristics, maerl is a Protected Marine Feature under Scottish law.  We cannot take this beautiful defender of our planet for granted - maerl is categorised as a threatened and declining habitat. Therefore, we are unbelievably fortunate to have a 6-hectare, centuries-old maerl bed (recognised by NatureScot and the Marine Directorate) here in Ardmore Bay, on the Isle of Skye.  NEWS UPDATE!!! Freedom of Information disclosures show that NatureScot recommended Ardmore Bay and the adjacent Loch Bay be designated as a Proposed Priority Marine Feature Managed Area, citing the presence of Maerl as the primary reason for protection. That did not happen! SSEN chose to omit all Maerl from marine impact assessments. They were seeking approval to for high-pressure water blasting of the seabed to lay a cable through Ardmore Bay, which can destroy this maerl bed. Maerl is extremely slow growing (about 0.5 mm per year) so when damaged it is essentially forever lost, depleting the wider marine life and negatively impacting the climate. Campaigners may have just seen the first step of progress. SSEN may be about to abandon water blasting and use “Rock Bags” to hold the cable instead. However, NatureScot has remarked that rock bags can hold invasive non-native species. Pacific oysters (Magallana gigas), which spread quickly, pose a serious threat to live maerl beds by smothering. Thankfully, this is a unique case where both maerl and new infrastructure can co-exist! There are alternative routes for the cable into Ardmore which will not impact the irreplaceable maerl bed. Therefore, we urgently need SSEN to consider the alternative routes for their cable into Ardmore, before this Protected Marine Feature is irreversibly decimated. Maerl has helped protect our home, it’s now time for us to protect it.  Video of Maerl Bed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSLcpi7j8zg Video Identifying Alternative Routes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnC5dJ5Myl8 Press Articles Referencing Ardmore Bay Maerl’s Plight: https://www.facebook.com/OpenSeasScot/photos/lovely-to-see-our-work-turn-up-in-private-eye-it-was-a-pleasure-to-help-the-comm/1234525238822664/ Skye locals fight power cable plan 'threatening rare coral beach' | The National

This is a countrywide scandal - see  'Dirty Business' Watch it here on Channel 4: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/dirty-business?cntsrc=social_share_android_dirty_business Our rivers and wildlife have been catastrophically damaged. The Environment Agency has failed to protect them. 

12 months ago I founded The Binfluencers in Keswick as locals were fed up with folk pitching tents at the side of lakes which is illegal and then all the mess they leave also. We also noticed a huge amount of general litter and huge amounts of poo bags just been discarded throughout the national park. I decided locals voices needed to be heard and the extent of such issues needed to be shown. We do regular litter picks, especially around Derwentwater and we managed to gain media interest. This year we have been collaborating with a local filmmaker who is making a film and and a animated short information film about these issues
